residential skyscraper located at 1 Austin Road West, in Union Square complex onKowloon peninsula . The building is erected on theWest Kowloon Reclamation west ofKwun Chung . Construction of the 74 storey building began in 2000 and was completed in 2003 under the design by P & T Architects & Engineers.The building is, in fact, three towers joined at the base, middle and top however from a distance it appears as one wall of a building. The gaps between the towers help relieve the stress caused by the wind as the building has a large surface area which results in it acting as a sail. It was constructed as part of the Kowloon Station development and was the fourth phase. All floors are used for residential purposes.
The tower is the 91st tallest building in the world when measured up to the highest architectural point.Fact|date=September 2007
